THE FLOWER VASE. 
CARNATION. 
Dianthus. Class 10. — Order 2. 
This is a very rich and fragrant Pink, growing sometimes 
as large as a rose. It has a variety of colors—chiefly red 
and white. 
Pride 
It is not well amid thy race to move 
And shut thy heart to sympathy and love. 
It is not well to scorn inferior minds, 
And pass them by as though they were but hinds 
Pride may become thee, as the veil a nun, 
But ah! they love thee not, whom thou dost shun. 
And days may come to thee when human love 
Thou wilt desire all earthly things above; 
And thou wilt mourn that in thy days of pride 
Thou didst not win some true hearts to thy side ; 
Wilt mourn that now thy rank and wealth have 
flown, 
Thou ’rt left to suffer and to die alone!
